Quotes from
William McFly:

Mrs. Sheridan: Root beer.
William McFly: Well, I'm afraid we haven't any...
Mrs. Sheridan: [Cutting him off] Of course not! Billions of dollars exporting the American way of life, and most of the world still never heard of root beer!
Merle McGill: I guess it must be hard for you to understand, Inspector, a man like me and Cecil Fox.

Merle McGill: But how can I say it, Inspector... He was my first... man. Somehow you just never forget your first man.
Inspector Rizzi: I remember mine - vividly.

Facts about
Three dream sequences were filmed (though ultimately scrapped) of the women fantasizing Cecil's death and their inheritance.
'Joseph L. Mankiewicz'' first script contained several novelties that never made it to the screen. Among them was a series of memos from a theater-chain owner (made to look as though they had been slipped in front of the projector) that commented on the action taking place. Also, there was to have been a running argument (resembling backstage squabbling) between a theater manager and the actor playing Cecil over such things as lines and cues.
Anne Bancroft was originally cast as Merle McGill, but she turned it down for a stage role.
